Josh Brenner
is a good looking guy with an extraordinary talent he thinks is a curse - He's
telepathic and he can't find the mute button, so he lives in solitude only
coming out at night. But Josh isn't the only supernatural out and about this
cold March night, because when Josh returns from his midnight run to the store
to avoid people, he runs smack into a hungry agitated vampire looking for
something and Josh is in his way.?? Horrified by what he's seen and barely
escaping with his life, he confides in a woman he barely knows, but has an
instant connection with. When another vampire shows up looking for the first,
Josh and his friend Lanie find themselves running for their lives and head to
Oljone, California where a friend of Lanie's from college has helped her with a
supernatural problem in the past. ?? But when they get to California
with the vampire hot on their trail, they find Darby, Lanie's college pal, has
moved to Massachusetts in search of her
vampire boyfriend Devon. Luckily Darby's
sister Rowan and Devon's vampire brother,
Blake, step in and help Josh and Lanie as best they can.?? The four work
together along with Dean (a werewolf) and his girlfriend Sally (a witch) to
figure out this crazy mystery. What does this determined vampire want and why?
And is he willing to kill for it? As this mystery unfolds, so do other darker
mysteries. Will they figure things out in time before someone is killed? You'll
just have to read it to see!

EXCERPT: The chill of March was in
the air and the moon shone through a halo of misty fog. Even though the moon
was but a sliver, it appeared ten times brighter than normal, due to the
refraction of the halo. Josh often walked late at night, even if just to pick
up items from a convenience store. He liked this time of night, when most
people were home with their families. The streets were quiet without many
people about.

He had a hoodie on under
his black leather coat and his iPod turned up as loud as he could stand it.
This was standard practice for any public outing. Since he had been a young
child, Josh could read other people’s thoughts. Though to anyone else, that may
seem a gift, he felt it more a curse - a curse that had no on/off, mute, or
volume switch.

Imagine being able to hear
the random thoughts of everyone in your vicinity. Goofy, dumb thoughts, rude
thoughts, thoughts a person never intends for anyone to hear. Everyone thinks
out loud at times, but like breathing, people don't think about it. Sometimes
it's just to keep oneself company, like having a television on in the
background. Other times, it helps in dealing with scary, stressful, or
embarrassing situations, but in most cases, people would be horrified if
someone heard these thoughts. It made Josh feel like an outsider, a freak, to
know what a person would say before they said it or to know their true feelings
on any given thing. To Josh, isolation was the key and he was good at isolating
himself from others; after all, he had perfected it over the years.
